Open Stack

We normally don't increase upper bounds on requirements in stable
branches. Does horizon 2014.2.x actually work with Django 1.8? If not,
is it possible to modify it to work without significant risk of
introducing new regressions and behavior changes? This is primarily a
concern for people continuously deploying stable/juno from source. Any
distributions which packaged 2014.2 will almost certainly have security
fixes backported to the release of Django they're shipping rather than
upgrading to a later Django release.

Anyway, these are conversations which can be had in public now that we
won't be disclosing the Django vulnerability by opening this bug report.

Title:
  Another Horizon login page vulnerability to a DoS attack

Status in OpenStack Dashboard (Horizon):
  New
Status in OpenStack Security Advisories:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  This bug is very similar to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1394370

  Steps to reproduce:
  1) Setup Horizon to use db as session engine (using this doc: http://docs.openstack.org/admin-guide-cloud/content/dashboard-session-database.html). I've used MySQL.
  2)  Run 'for i in {1..100}; do  curl -b "sessionid=aaaaa;" http://HORIZON__IP/auth/login/ &> /dev/null; done' from your terminal.
  I've got 100 rows in django_session after this.

  I've used devstack installation just with updated master branch.
